Where the figure comes from

The weight on this page is from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart, which lists maple syrup as 1/2 cup = 156 g. Scaled to one US cup of 236.59 ml, that is 312 g. Every other number on the page is that figure multiplied or divided.

grams = cups x 312

cups = grams / 312

For example, 1 1/2 cups of maple syrup is 1.5 x 312 = 468 g, and 300 g is 300 / 312 = 0.96 cups.

How maple syrup compares by the cup

A cup measures volume, so its weight depends on what fills it. A cup of maple syrup is 37.4 percent heavier than a cup of water (227 g). It is 160 percent heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour (120 g).

Other sugars and syrups from the same chart, per US cup:

Molasses: 340 g, 28 g more than maple syrup
Honey: 336 g, 24 g more than maple syrup
Corn syrup: 312 g
Brown sugar, packed: 213 g, 99 g less than maple syrup
Granulated sugar: 198 g, 114 g less than maple syrup

The two sources do not agree on what a cup weighs. USDA lists a cup of this food at 315 g, which is 3 g more than the 312 g in the baking chart. Products and the way a cup is filled both differ, which is the reason a recipe that gives grams is easier to repeat than one that gives cups. This page uses the baking chart figure throughout.

US cup or metric cup

A US cup is 236.59 ml and a metric cup, used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, is 250 ml. The metric cup is 5.7 percent larger, so it holds 330 g of maple syrup against 312 g. Tablespoons and teaspoons on this page are US spoons. The calculator above has a switch for the cup size.
